COVID19: UITH resident doctors begin indefinite strike
The Association of Resident Doctors , University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital chapter, commenced an indefinite strike on Monday.
He said that this was in the spirit of solidarity with Nigerians, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic and in spite of the insensitivity of government to the legitimate demands of doctors, who, he said, had been sacrificing their lives in the fight against COVID-19.“We decided to exempt doctors who are currently attending to patients with COVID-19 at the various treatment centres across the nation.
“This will ensure the delivery of quality healthcare to the citizens of Nigeria by well-motivated and healthy doctors,” he said. According to him, their demands include access to appropriate personal protective equipment by healthcare workers in all the federal and state tertiary health institutions.Others, he said, were the universal domestication and implementation of MRTA in all tertiary hospitals in the country and eradication of pay disparity among doctors of equal cadre.
